CapCut
AI-Powered Photo & Video Editor for Everyone
CapCut is a photo and video editor with AI tools, aimed at making content for YouTube, Instagram and other platforms. It has a Free plan with free templates and basic editing tools, alongside paid Pro, Ultra and Teams plans. It covers editing videos, creating videos, generating images, text to speech, removing backgrounds and adding subtitles, on the web and desktop.

What CapCut does
Editing is the core of CapCut. Its smart editor syncs cuts to beats, and EditPilot works on the timeline: describe an idea and it arranges clips, sets the pace and adds captions for you to refine. Auto captions include translation and styling, and a one-click background remover handles cut-outs without manual masking.
Generation tools sit inside the same editor. The AI video generator works from text or images, the AI image generator works from prompts, and text to speech is offered in 40+ languages. You can switch between third-party AI models, including Dreamina Seedance 2.5, Veo 3 Fast, Sora 2 and GPT Image 2, depending on the job. Video templates, some with AI-generated designs, give a starting point when you'd rather not build from a blank timeline.
CapCut is listed for the web and desktop. A Free plan includes free templates and basic editing tools, and paid Pro, Ultra and Teams plans exist; this page does not list their prices.
